Literacy We are doing Literacy Centers everyday, which include reading Space books from our Library, Word Work or Writing App on the ipad, MyON or listen to a story, and with the teacher. At my station, we are continue to practice letters, sounds, clapping out syllables, making sentences and finding no-excuse words in our books.
Math We are learning about ten frames and different ways to make 10, 9, 8, and 7. We are continuing to count by 10's, 5's, and 2's. ST Math is off to a great start too!
Science We are continuing to learn about Space. This week we will discover more about the Moon. We will learn about the Phases of the Moon through songs, our daily Moon Journal, and books. I attached some fun songs we have already learned about below.

Homework Packet: In Friday folders and due the following Friday. We have done a great job about turning this in. Make sure you are putting your name on them. :)
Snacks We are in need for healthy snacks in addition to the fresh fruits and vegetables. Some ideas may include pretzels, goldfish, fruit snacks, or crackers.
The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program
Alpha, Benton, Blue Ridge and West Blvd Elementary Schools
The goals of the
program are as follows:
- To promote a healthy school environment
- To expand the variety
of fruits and vegetables children experience
- To increase
children’s fruit and vegetable consumption
- To encourage lifelong
healthy eating habits
The Menu is as follows for Sept 29 – Oct 3, 2014
Menu subject to change
Monday: Teacher Workday – NO School
Tuesday: Baby Carrots
- Baby carrots are not young carrots, but rather small
pieces of carrots that are chopped and whittled down to look like small
carrots.
- The baby carrot is a result of a California farmer who
was weary of feeding tons of ugly carrots to livestock because they were
too twisted, bent or broken to sell to supermarkets.
- This popular kid snack is rich in Beta-Carotene and
Vitamin A.
Wednesday:
Pears
·
One of the world’s oldest fruits, pears were known to both the
Greeks and the Romans.
·
Early colonists brought pears to the United States in the 1700’s.
- Pears are a relative of the apple and rank
second to the apple as the most popular fruit eaten in the United States.
- Pears are rich in fiber, potassium and
vitamin C.
Thursday: No Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program today
Friday: Pineapple
·
The pineapple originated in southern Brazil and Paraguay and was
introduced to Hawaii in 1813.
·
European explorers discovered this tropical fruit and called them
pineapple because of their resemblance to pine cones.
- In some cultures, the pineapple has become associated
with the notion of welcome.
- Pineapple is a good source of manganese and contains
significant amounts of vitamin C as well as vitamin B1.
